OPERATION
The power unit is located away from the everyday living areas
of your home – usually in the garage, basement, or utility
room. Through a network of strong, lightweight tubing, the
power unit connects to inlets strategically placed throughout
your home. To clean, attach cleaning tools to the system's
hose and insert the hose into an inlet. The system is turned on
by a power switch on the hose. As you vacuum, dirt and dust
is transported to the power unit where it remains in a debris
pail until emptied.
This electrical appliance has been evaluated by the appropriate
listing agencies and is intended for household use only.
The system status indicator light(s) on the front of the power
unit indicate that the power unit is ready for use. Under normal
operation, the light(s) will be green.
(A red light on Broan
models VX6000C or VX12000C indicates a need to empty
pail. See page 12 for instructions.)
When you are ready to clean, attach the wand and cleaning
tool onto the end of the hose. Open the inlet cover and insert
the end of the hose into the inlet.
For non-switched hoses, inserting the hose automatically
turns on the power unit; removing the hose shuts off the power
unit. Some hoses have switches which can be used to activate
power unit.
NOTE:
The power unit will not turn automatically ON when
the hose is inserted into its own inlet. To turn the
power unit inlet ON, use the rocker switch located on
the side of the power unit.
Use the cleaning tools as you would for any other vacuum
cleaner. Avoid picking up pine needles, coffee sticks, and other
similar objects. These kinds of objects may become lodged in
the hose or tubing.
CAUTION
DO NOT REMOVE either of the TOP red cap plugs
that are glued to the unit. Removing these glued
plugs will damage the unit. Only remove and use
the outlets covered by the green BOTTOM plugs.
